Tender hearts and strong minds in a Victorian lesson
A selection of moral anecdotes and quips from 19th century figures. George Stephenson tends a wounded bird and mourns its death, illustrating tenderness allied to resolve. Beecher teases Lincoln with a tale of a pastor and absentees, then a punny saloon problem collection and quick quips about duties, time, and money.
